Camilla's eyes widened with surprise, but she quickly composed herself, intrigued by Mike's words. "What is it?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Mike glanced around the room, ensuring they were truly alone, before closing the door behind him. He took a deep breath, his eyes locked onto Camilla's.
"It's about the Valtorians," he said, his voice low and serious. "They've been making aggressive overtures towards our borders. My father received a message from their king, demanding that we surrender several of our key territories."
Camilla's eyes widened in shock. "That's outrageous!" she exclaimed. "What does your father plan to do?"
Mike's expression turned grim. "He's called an emergency meeting with the council to discuss our options. But I fear it may already be too late. The Valtorians are mobilizing their troops as we speak."
